Time for this Course:

When determining how much time you should spend on your course work,
consider the following analogy: if you were working a full-time job, you
would be putting in 40 hours a week (at least). Think of your class work
here as your job. Since you are probably taking three courses, that means
you should spend about 13 hours a week on each course. Of that, 3 will be
in class, so you should expect to put in about 10 hours of work on this
course outside of class each week. I expect the homework to take perhaps 6
or 7 hours a week, so the remainder should be spent reviewing your notes
nightly, coming to office hours with questions, and, most importantly,
trying to internalize the material from class. You need to plan
this time into your schedule; if you don't it won't happen.

On the course evaluation at the end of the term you will be asked to
estimate how much time you spent per week on the course. Some students end
up saying 2 to 4 hours, which is not enough; however, if you find you are
spending more than 12 hours a week, then something is probably wrong, and
you should come see me.
